Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.3 Released

It's been about two weeks since the release of Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.2, and now version 1.0.3 has been released. This minor update to this Linux benchmarking and testing platform licensed under the GNU GPLv3 adds new test profiles, a new suite, and a couple fixes. The new test profiles in this release include byte, bonnie, and ut2004-demo...

sad, sad, still(?) no fio-profile. did you take a look at it?
io-performance is the most important performance-criteria which follows cpu/ram-performance...

When did you mention that? I don't recall seeing any requests for it (best way is to create a new thread). Anyhow, in git master (for what will be Phoronix Test Suite 1.0.4) is now a profile called fio with the fio test profile. However, right now it's rather basic and just measures the total time to run fio. If you have extensive knowledge with fio, I'd gladly accept patches to extend its functionality of this profile.

well, i think this configuration (aka .fio-data) from this software presentation (http://www.linux.com/feature/131063) should do the beginning. it seems to create a heavy workload. unfortunatly, i don't know about io-specific functions. oh i just looked into the .tar.gz, there are already several exemples integrated, such as the intel file server acces pattern (official for workstation & fileservers), several client-server-network jobs and so on. some really exciting stuff
so my propose is to just take a look at it and think about it.
you can find the exemples in the "exemples"-dir in the tar.gz.
